RSA Decryption Exercise
Two prime numbers p and q are chosen, and n = pq is computed as follows:
p =5, q =11=> n =511=55.
The product n must be greater than 36 to enable encryption of all characters and numbers.
Calculate \phi No =(p-1)(q-1)=(5-1)(11-1)=410=40.
To create public key choose e =3(1< e <\phi No, and e and \phi No are co-primes).
The public key is: (e,n)=(3,55).
To calculate private key, solve: (ed) mod \phi No =1.
The private key is: (d,n)=(27,55).
Encrypted message
The message was encrypted converted to numbers using the table below, and then encrypted using public key (3,55).
The encrypted message is "390149205201"
Decrypted message
The message is decrypted using the private key (27,55).
The first letter of the encrypted message is decrypted:
S = Cd mod n = mod(3927,55)=19, which is letter S in number format.
What is the original (decrypted) message, when the encrypted string is "390149205201"?
